Today's Alluring Links

Natalie Portman goes dark, ombré is not over (at least not in home decor), and Jennifer Lawrence on why she cut off her hair in today's Alluring Links.

Natalie Portman debuted her new dark color at the most recent Thor: The Dark World premiere, and had this to say to our special correspondent Jeffrey Slonim: "We just tried it today. You can probably still smell my dye if you get close enough. It’s very quick—just 20 minutes before we came here." Love it when a celebrity offers to let you sniff her hair. [Refinery 29]

At this point, ombré hair is pretty much passé among the fashion crowd (I still love you, dark-to-light hair-dyeing technique), but according to The New York Times we can also have ombré floral arrangements, wedding cakes, and napkins! Viva ombré! [The New York Times]

Jennifer Lawrence explains her new pixie cut: "It grew to an awkward gross length, and I kept putting it back in a bun and I was like, 'I don't want to do this,' so I just cut it off." [US Weekly]
